personally I'd take your windows memory management back to it's defaults. I don't quite understand why you'd have no pagefile. The only speed enhancing technique I've seen is to set the pagefile at some amount (usually a factor of how much RAM you're carrying), but never ever remove it completely ...

but if you use warp, won't your sample be changed in length, i.e it'll be in sync at the start but out of sync at the end.

do you mean the start marker?

ben, i see your point now, but I guess whether the recording start is delayed (as you say) or trimmed and shifted (as I suggest, based on Abelton's own response) has the same effect at the end of the day.

as I said, I don't know where the "1 + 1 + 1 = 0" statement came from, and I don't really see ...

first, only half of your latency formula will be relevant, as in this scenario, you have no audio "coming in", just "going out". so as you point out you might be expecting 6ms, but really the overhead in generating the sound to go to the outputs makes that optomistic.

the thing about VSTi is that ...

ben, that's not exactly it.

Live didn't start recording later, it started recording as soon as you hit record. So the START of the actual samples are in sync, just not the sound IN them. This is because, in those first few milliseconds of recording, your vox input was still making it's way down the ...

spider,

first, minor possibility, make sure you're 122's chromatic tuner is not displayed, that uses bandwidth and could slow down the TRS signal.

second, there's an aspect to latency that makes it hard to troubleshoot. that's because there's more than one reason for it! It could be:

a) the ...

montreal, you've hit the nail on the head with your Plug-in delay compensation summary. it's about DELAYING the playback of tracks by varying degrees.

However, the overall latency adjustment in Live! does NOT delay the playback of tracks, it simply shifts a recorded track to an earlier point in the ...

well that is weird.

lets just go through this bit by bit: when you say latency, are we talking about the sound that comes OUT of the 122 WHILE you're playing along, or are we talking about what get's recorded to the track in live? i.e. are you sure you're not inadvertantly using Hardware Monitoring ...

sweet, in response to yours, I've seen those same posts. again, my own experience doesn't match that, on my system at least the correction works as intended.

the major caveat to Latency correction seems to be that it ONLY works when monitoring in Live is turned OFF (NOT auto or on), but I'm sure ...

Being a fairly new Live user, I don't know the history of this feature, but the manual is pretty clear in terms of the need for it. By entering a number in this box you are just telling Live! of the EXTRA latency in your system for which it NEEDS to compensate when placing samples in time.

The ...

sweetjesus, that's not the experience I had, and it's certainly not what the manual describes as the purpose of the overall latency adjustment.

"The Overall Latency setting is only relevant when recording audio with monitoring set to “Off” (seeMonitoring). This would be the case if you were, for ...

rich, you need to investigate the "overall latency" compensation feature of live. There's a whole section in the manual on it.

it's a bit of phaffing around but you only have to do it once with a given machine. the crux of it is that you connect an output of the MobilePre to an input with a lead (I ...

I have a few commercial midi files that I want to use as backing tracks for a guitar gig.

In the old days, I would have just opened up the files in a sequencer and played the midi files to the good ol soundblaster and recorded the output to an audio file, that I later burned to a CD.

Now that we ...

if you set the overall latency to something silly, like say 100mS, does the recorded sample move at all?

I've been playing with the combination above that came with my mobilePre. I'm new to the re-wire idea and I'm really impressed with the way it works.

One thing though, in Reason Adapted, there is only a stereo bus to Live. If I upgrade to the full version of Reason (which I think is now V3), will I ...
